This game had no right to be this good! It was the perfect detective game. The cases were interesting and well thought out, always making you think like a real detective, taking into account the evidence and details to find the right culprit.
The story has lots of ups and downs, exposing you to different types of cases and investigative approaches. At times, this game felt like a great detective TV show, keeping you engaged with its twists and turns. The Noir atmosphere of the 40s and 50s is just fantastic, and Los Angeles is the perfect city for this kind of game. Los Angeles becomes Los Angeles y Los Demonios in this game, immersing you in its dark and gritty underworld.
The facial expressions are the game's trademark, revolutionary for 2011. Many people might find them a bit cringy, but I thought they were impressive and added charm to the game. The attention to detail in capturing subtle facial movements made interrogations feel more authentic and challenging, as you had to read characters’ emotions to determine if they were lying or telling the truth.
One of my favorite aspects of this game is the main menu. It’s so creative; I love when games try to do something unique like that. Out of the letters from the light panel, only the letters L, I, and E don't flicker. A cool detail, right? You know the game will be good from the moment you see the effort put into these kinds of things. This kind of creativity sets the tone for the entire game, showing that the developers cared deeply about every aspect of the experience.
The soundtrack is amazing too, especially the main theme. It’s very moody and makes me want to drink some whiskey and light up a cigar while elegantly dressed in a suit with a nice hat on my head, contemplating life and the immortality of the soul. The music perfectly complements the game’s atmosphere, enhancing the feeling of being a detective in post-war Los Angeles. Each track is carefully composed to match the intensity and emotion of the scenes, making the experience even more immersive.
One thing I can't say i was a fan of is how large the map was, considering there’s not much to do in free roam. However, it’s not really a bad thing as they did well in creating the L.A. of that time, even if it wasn't super necessary. The detailed recreation of the city is impressive, and while the free roam activities are limited, it adds to the authenticity and scale of the game.
Team Bondi did a fantastic job with this game. It’s a shame they don’t exist anymore. The effort and passion they poured into the game are evident in every detail. I hope we will see more games like L.A. Noire at some point. Until then, this game remains a standout example of what a detective game can achieve.
